Agent: 'Chelsea would need to spend big on Juan Musso'

The agent of Udinese goalkeeper Juan Musso has revealed that it would take "a big investment" from a club to sign his client during this summer's transfer window.

Chelsea are believed to have identified the 25-year-old as a potential replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga, who has struggled for consistency since arriving in a big-money move from Athletic Bilbao.

However, Musso's agent Vicente Montes has suggested that it would take a significant sum to convince Udinese to part with the Argentina international ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

"If Kepa cost Chelsea €80m (£73.9m), Courtois more or less the same amount and [Gianluigi] Donnarumma is worth €100m (£92.4m), how much is Juan Musso worth?," he told Calciomercato.

"I can tell you it would surely be a big investment for the club that decide to sign him from Udinese."

Musso, who is also thought to be attracting the interest of Inter Milan, has kept nine clean sheets in 26 Serie A appearances during the 2019-20 campaign.
